You find it to be the same as therapy? huh?  :???:
Were the government to prescribe to us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now. Thus in France the emetic was once forbidden as a medicine, and the potato as an article of food. Government is just as infallible,[sic] too, when it fixes systems in physics. Galileo was sent to the Inquisition for affirming that the earth was a sphere.... It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.

It's true, most of the kids get told that they have to go to a month or two of wilderness camp, and then they'll be able go home- actually, at the completion of the wilderness camp, get told they they aren't "ready yet" and then get sent to an RTC by some referral agent from the wilderness program.  Especially in Utah, these guys usually work for both wilderness programs and RTCs and refer the parents back and forth.

The lies and surprises help to break them down even more, especially over a prolonged period of time. It also makes a ton of money for the people running the programs  :sad:

So it's not just my imagination then? Thanks for saying that, Mike.
